Under a pink sky

The water in the paddling pool turns cold. Mugs of coca-cola on the grass, a skipping rope and cards.  Mum grabs a jacket, Dad has a blanket around his knees and says, get your own, then laughs, hugs you close. The edge of a chill rears its head while cold lemonade slides smoothly down, slow, between waves of laughter. Calls for more crisps, ice for the cider. You lean back in your seat, sleepy from  the sweetest evening, a book rested in your lap. 

The evening will end. You know that. You know it, but don’t feel it at all.

Daylight Saving

The world is bright when the day is just dawning, The sun cuts through the low-hanging fog A bird sings good morning like yesterday but it sounds new. The breeze touches your face like it’s blind. It wants to see you when you skin finds this sun and glows with it.

Smile if you want to, Life is small when it is only you.
